Animasterpiece Double Feature sexy witches and waterlogged creatures... Tonight, Anime Was (Not) A Mistake gets classy as we focus on two highly lauded anime feature length classics from time gone by. First, we are off to the pastel water colors of France in Eiichi Yamamoto's morality tale Belladonna of Sadness (1973). When the young innocent Jeanne is beset by every man, devil, and facet of the human race, she has no choice but to become a witch. Will her loveliness succumb to dark desires or is she but a mirror that will inspire all of humanity to follow suit? Next, we are off to the past or the future, in a silent, wet, dark world with Mamoru Oshii's seminal Angel's Egg (1985). In a world where people are scarce and all is passed down through biblical lore, will we discover what lies just under the shell of this egg? One girl potentially holds the world's inner workings close to her chest, but is she or we the true dreamer? Make sure to don your gowns and jewels and oh yes, bring your opera glasses! Bet you never thought that this silly little anime podcast could revel in the medium that is cinema.
